A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.

To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家.

This is our city.

We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone.

We're not done yet | 18F

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

How to apply behavioral insights at an organization-level: Tips from Dr. Elizabeth Linos - Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics (CHIBE) Dr. Elizabeth Linos spoke with CHIBE about her lab, which works to improve resident-government interactions, and take best practices to scale.

"The best advice I have for applying behavioral insights at an organization or system level is to start with the problem, the experience, and the people navigating it every day. The behavioral nudge should come last." @elizabethlinos.bsky.social chibe.upenn.edu/blog/how-to-...

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

I have this framed in my office.

He’s one of the ‘Norfolk 17’ to segregate Norfolk schools in ‘59.

A few miles away in Va Beach my parents went to a segregated school until they graduated in ‘68. Their first integrated experiences - work. My dad’s was 3 tours in Vietnam.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I stopped using Twitter in 2016. I was at Bloomberg Politics at the time surrounded by journalists during the national conventions and it quickly became all-consuming. The pace was too fast and the news was exhausting. I hope this platform feels a lot better and excited to exchange with everyone!
